thirteen: boulders

three days later san

my leg is healed now which feels like a miracle. I still limp around a little and I can't exert myself too much, but at least I can do things now. which reminds me, wooyoung told me that we should do something today. I'm not sure what, but it better be good because I don't wake up this early for nothing.

woo comes to my bedside to keep sure I'm ready and I pretend to be asleep. he stands there in silence, making me a bit nervous. is this when I finally get jumped by him? heck no, I want a bed spread of flowers with candles everywhere if we're doing that. I continue to lay still, waiting for woo's advances. his breath fans my face in a shivering heat compared to the cold morning. my heart palpitates. he leans down even more, laying a kiss on my cheek. I can't stop the shy smile rising on my face and I grab wooyoung as he starts to retreat.

"why the look of surprise? you can't do that and expect me not to be awake"

he blushes and I coo.

"how long were you awake?"
"ever since you got close to me with the stench of your breath"
"hey! my breath isn't that bad is it?"

his hand is covering his mouth to block the "stench." I sigh, he's so cute I can't.

"I'm just kidding, love. why would I be holding you this close to my face if you had stinky breath?"
"oh"
"anyways, can you shut up for a minute and kiss me?"

woo smiles and our lips meet. I feel that familiar warmth all over again. his lips on mine, and my heart wrapped in the comfort of a blanket. this feeling is like drinking hot chocolate on a snowy day, eating watermelon by the pool in the hot sun, enjoying the nostalgia of rewatching a childhood show, and dancing in the rain without a care in the world.  this is love, I suppose, but it's a little too soon to say it to be sure.

woo pulls away and looks at me fondly. I can feel the small blush on my face from the heat moments before.

"I can't believe we, as old ugly men, have made out twice now"
I blink, "dang, I forgot I looked like that too. this is suddenly a very unfortunate situation"
"I can agree"

wooyoung glances outside and looks stressed.
"are you okay?"
"we need to go right now, san. or I won't be able to show you what I had planned"

I hop up and run a hand through my hair before throwing on some shoes and a bag with berries.
"shall we?"
woo intertwined our hands, "we shall"

we walk for what seems like hours, but in a less dramatic perspective it was a good 20 minutes. the vegetation of the area grows more and more thin as we reach a sandy beach, brighter and less rocky than the ones I've seen before.

I look towards wooyoung to ask him what he brought me here for but I know as I look over. his shirt is off now and his man tits are out for the world to see. I would've kicked him just because I had to witness the sight, but I can only turn pink as he speaks.

"you said you wanted to play in the sand with me, didn't you?"

my heart skips a beat and stars twinkle in my eyes as I look at him, pulling my shirt off as well as my reply.

we find ourselves giggling in a mess of sand like little kids. currently, I'm burying him in a hole of sand. I place one more large handful of wet sand on top of him before aggressively patting it down and jumping on it. woo grunts and winces.

"I think I understand why kids used to dig holes in the sand to pee in now"

my mouth opens then closes, "I don't know why I needed to know that, but looks like you're going to be laying in your own piss for awhile until I'm done with this glorious piece of work"

woo awkwardly smiles in a very boxy way, "yes sir, please hurry sir. I think it's travel-"

I jump one more time and he finally shuts his pie hole. I continue my artwork, mounds of sand piling around him. when I finally finish, I nod, signing my name into the corner of the sand.

"how do I look, baby boy", woo winks. I try to keep my face expressionless, but my lips curve.

"man, you look lovely. honestly don't know how I did this, but I wish I could give you a picture of it or something"

woo tilts his face to try to see what I did. eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"are those...?"
"are those what?"
"...boobs?"
"maybe, maybe not. you will never know"
"whatever, I bet I look hot either way. but it's time for me to ruin the work your blood, sweat, and tears went into", he says, breaking through the barrier. I drop to my knees, hands pulling down at my face.
"my love, my child. how could you kill her like that"
"oh shut up san, drama queen", he rolls his eyes, scoffing.

woo just walks away and dips himself in the water to rinse away the bodily fluids on him before hopping out and taking my hand.

"I can't believe you just held my hand with your peepee fingers"
"I can't believe you are still holding it"
"okay and? you're blessed to be able to even hold my hand, I wouldn't complain. gosh, I'm really out here helping charity cases", I throw a hand back on my forehead, shakily dropping to the ground. woo laughs and shoves me lightly.

"what do you say we go for a swim?"
my eyes light up again, this man only gets better.
he excitedly pulls me up the beach a little more.

"the reason we walked so far was not only because of the soft sand, but this", he takes us around a hedge of rocks and I push him over, looking into the body of water in front of me.

"when did you find this? it's great"
"it was a little bit before I found you, it took me a little bit to find it, but I'm glad I did"

the place he brought me to was a large pool of water hidden behind towering boulders. the water was clear and warm, not a single danger to be seen lurking in it. I grab woo's hand, pulling him into the water with me. we play a game of marco polo, somehow making it fun with only two people. then we continue to amuse ourselves by acting like water benders with a feud, water flying everywhere as we splashed each other.

"I won!"
"no you didn't, idiot! sand is not a water-bender thing"
"but no one ever said they didn't use their surroundings", he shrugs.
"oh you little bastard, I'm gonna get you if that's the case"

I lunge at him with a handful of dry sand, attempting to throw it in his mouth. everyone knows that the crunch of that stuff is like hell on earth. he takes me by surprise and pulls me under the water with him before I kick out and grab another dry pile of sand.

he surfaces again after half a minute then I take my chances and throw. to my pleasant surprise, he grabs both my wrists and the sand flys behind him.

"good try, but I don't think so"

why was that so hot. perfect opportunity to test the waters.

"if I try again what are you going to do about it?"
"this"
he pulls me into his chest and cradles me as we begin to kiss. he pulls away a minute later and I raise a brow.

"that wasn't bad at all"
"I wasn't done yet"

our lips merge together yet again and I feel warmth surrounding my stomach before woo bites my tongue.

"ow that hurt! what the heck"
"I told you I would do something"

a/n: here is woo as san's sand sculpture. sorry I haven't been updating much I've been so busy. I signed up for 9 classes and it's more hectic that I thought it'd be ahaha
